AquaBounty officials sat down Wednesday with around 40 members of the community for a town hall meeting…to discuss its planned fish farm in Pioneer. AquaBounty is in the process of building and getting the applications for a planned 479,000-square-foot facility…to raise 10,000 metric tons of genetically modified salmon, a year. The project will cost AquaBounty up to $320 million with plans to hire more than 100 people to operate the facility. Prior to the town hall, people were able to submit questions to be answered during the event.
